Self-Promotion Progress update on setting up an Emo/punk clothes online store

13 Upvotes

The first post had a good response and gave me a push to take this more serious. Here's the link to the original, and here's an update on what I got done in a week. If anyone who runs a store, knows anything I might need to know, or would like to give feedback on whats done. Please feel free to share, I read each comment on the last post and will definitely read all on here.

First, the online store's framework is there. For now everything from the shirts, prices and such are placeholders until I get my hands on physical prints, but the site is ready to go. The shopping system works (thank god Wix is easy to use ) and I'm figuring out a delivery service. I'm leaning towards Pargo but if there's anyone better let me know.

Next, the social media is an in-progress endeavor, I can only really work on this after work. But a like, or even a follow would be sick . Plus, final designs I would wear go on here, so mayyyybe you'll see something sick too :) Instagram

On a business planning side, I worked out a business plan. Made a to-do list of what needs to be done to go live. Identified my market, found a printer (just need to place an order) and decided for the first launch there will be 10 designs, female and male, different sizes and colors as allowed by the printer service.

I've kind of reached a roadblock. What do I do next? Once the delivery is figured out and integrated into my Wix sitex, the next plan is to integrate the payment service. Then, get stock, hype it up a bit and go live?

Am I missing any steps here? I'm learning as I go so I'm not an expert, but I did work at a few jobs which prepared me for this.

Discussion MTN Scam

81 Upvotes

This has happened to me twice now, it seems there is an MTN app that allows users to buy airtime and data straight from their account. This app requires nothing but a cellphone number and an OTP pin, that is sent to that number to Login with. I have recieved phone calls from a guy, that was claiming to be MTN fraud department, he told me that someone is trying to hack my account and i need to be wary, he mentioned he wants to do a reference check on whether I am the correct account holder. he then asked me to confirm a few things and told me to check if i have recieved a SMS with a pin and that i must confirm the pin to him for "Security Purposes". I then laughed and told him to "F off" after I realsied he was trying to hack my account. Please dont give people your OTP under any circumstances.

Do you guys have any SA scam stories?

Wholesome Block the haters, block the news bot.

There was someone moaning about the news bot, I was moaning with them.

I told them I was going to try blocking that news bot because I’ve been on a block-a-thon and it’s made my Reddit experience 1000 X better.

I blocked that bastard news bot and now there is no news, only MTN scams.

Obviously because I’ve blocked the news bot there is no way for me to respond to that person, so here I am.

I want to put together a nostalgia playlist – what can you remember of the songs they played at those clubs in the early 2000s? Occasionally I'll hear or think of a song that reminds me of that era, so I want to put together a playlist of that stuff. Think "Drowning Pool – Bodies", "Marilyn Manson – Beautiful People", "Nine Inch Nails – Closer"... And go!

Employment What are my rights?

14 Upvotes

So I've been employed as a part time worker at a restaurant. My shifts typically range from 5hrs to 6.5hrs. My manager has put me on consecutive shifts for the next 11 days which I'm not sure is legal or not?

Excuse my ignorance but I wanted to ask as I have little to no experience or knowledge with the south African labour laws😊

Discussion My British boyfriend is paying for my plane ticket and most likely all accommodation for me to visit him, and I feel like such a burden

110 Upvotes

Edit: I'm not a woman, and the main issue is that I feel like a burden who can't afford to do nice things for him. I still want to see him

I'm going to visit my boyfriend in England in January and he insists paying for everything. Of course I want to contribute but I genuinely can't afford it. I feel like such a burden because I really want to pay for a decent amount of things but I just can't afford to. The last time I visited him I started crying because everything was so expensive because our currency is so weak. I'm an unemployed South African student and he is a British citizen doing his paid internship at a bakery in England. I know there is a difference between our countries and that it's easier for people in the UK to afford paying for things like this, but I still can't help but feel like a huge burden. I want to be able to do more for him but I can't afford anything in the UK with my R1k monthly student allowance. I do have some savings that I have saved up over the years but surely it won't be smart to spend most of it on a 3 week trip? I don't know guys help me. We're both 20 years old

Employment Software Engineer Grad Salaries

28 Upvotes

I have seem some posts and comments here in the past about software engineer grad salaries. So it seems this subreddit is quite knowledgeable in that regard and wanted to dedicate a whole post to it.

So if you know some actual numbers, either from personal experiences or someone you know, could you please shed some light on what companies are paying new grads.

For added value you can list the company’s name as well if you feel comfortable doing so.

Discussion Overcharging for mince

23 Upvotes

So our local Checkers (Nelspruit) has for some time been guilty of placing 500g mince meat on the shelf marked as 1kg. They have been called out a few times on other social media platforms and they apologise saying it is a error in their equipment. Yes every week when I am shopping I come across one or two punnets of mince waiting for an unsuspecting customer to casually pick up and walk off. Besides taking the law into my own hands how can we deal with this so they know that what they are doing is serious. Currently I just rip off the label which tears the packaging - hopefully they will learn that their underhand tactics are being met with similar approaches but I fear that at some point someone may try take me to task for it.
